The 'E' curve for a non-ideal reactor defines the fraction of fluid having age between t and t + dt _____________________?
Correct answer: B. At the outlet
- A. At the inlet
- B. At the outlet
- C. In the reactor
- D. Averaged over the inlet and outlet
Explanation
The E-curve is the exit age distribution, so it describes the age distribution of fluid elements as they leave the reactor. The corresponding inlet distribution is usually represented by the F-curve.
